Extra Large, Extra Strong... without being bitter
That this site is so awful in IE7? I mean I made it quite clear, (I think) that I will not be using IE7 (at least until they fix it, and even then I doubt it, with that awful interface).
Now, I am going to have to load it and start checking and trying to accomodate that hunk of junk. Damn!
Please bear with me as I try to get this worked out. (Or Just go get Firefox already)
And Vista was unleashed on an unsuspecting public today. Sheesh!
Update: I guess I am back to the old Theme… for now.
Consider this a Public Service Announcement.
Parents are (naturally) always looking out for their children, and very often try to be good citizens that spread useful information on to others. (To a certain degree, isn’t that what many parents are doing with their blogs, sharing their experiences, to not only entertain, but to potentially inform others from their experiences).
However, in this age of Instant Information, far too many people are far too quick to help disseminate mis-information (unintentially of course) in the name of warning others.
Clues to mis-information that winds up in your e-mail inbox. [Read more...]
Taking it in the shorts
OK, now there is clearly no shortage of idiots in the world. And trying to decide who is the biggest idiot is certainly difficult. But this guy has got to be in the running.
According to the article, he couldn’t find a pair of clean underwear in his drawer, so he took all his clothes out, threw them out into the garden and set them on fire. Bad enough right there.
But wait there’s more.
The fire spread to the house, which burned to the ground! (At this point it was probably a good thing he didn’t have clean underpants as I am sure he soiled himself as he watched his antics cause his house to burn down). So there we can now classify him into a “Super Sized” Asshat.
But before you answer yet, the cherry on the top…
He now faces up to 8 years in prison for endangering family members that were in the house. (Though fortunately nobody was physically injured).
Kill for an erection?
So, maybe that wasn’t her actual intention. But that was certainly nearly the outcome, as the man suffered a massive heart attack after she slipped two Viagras into her husbands wine.
The man, Frederico di Angelino has said he holds no ill will against his wife, and thanks to the heart attack, he has cut back his stress and workload, and that their love life has improved because of it.
Some people it seems were skeptical back when I was giving away cookies about my disclaimer about nuts, and how it seemed that this warning needed to be on everything these days. I mentioned how the Marlow Company even took it to a seemingly bizarre extreme. But there were disbelievers that some company could be so incredibly silly as to put a warning on a bag of Peanuts that “this product may contain nuts.”
Well allow me to finally put this issue to bed. The bag on the right is an actual bag of Salted Peanuts from the Marlow Company and has not been altered in any way (other than the box added to highlight the stupidity).
(You may need to click on the picture to enlarge to clearly read the writing on the bag.)
Update: Link to full picture is fixed (h/t to Doug)
Turns out that when you have leaky pipes on the second floor that tin roof on the first floor doesn’t like it very much. Even if you put something over it, as the last owners of this house did before we purchased it. Sooner or later, something like this happens.
Now in all fairness, we did buy this house as a fixer upper. But, I was younger and dumber then, and thought I could fix anything. As it turns out, so far, I have been pretty good at the fixing part. It just turns out to cost a hell of a lot more than I ever expected. I was able to locate some tin ceiling panels to replace these at a place called (conveniently enough) Restorations. But imagine my surprise when each 2 x 4 panel cost in excess of $40 each (plus shipping).
So how was YOUR weekend?
